Burn resistant Ti alloys have been developed over the last 10 years. The aim of the present paper is to study the effects of alloying elements on properties and microstructures of Ti–V–Cr burn resistant alloys. The alloys Ti–35V–15Cr, Ti–25V–15Cr, and Ti–25V–15Cr–3Al usually show simple β phase structures, and recrystallisation finishes at 800°C. The Ti–25V–15Cr alloy has good workability, tensile properties, and thermal stability compared with the Ti–35V–15Cr and Ti–25V–15Cr–3Al alloys. There are α precipitates in the Ti–25V–15Cr alloy after exposure at 500°C for 100 h, which leads to a decrease in the thermal stability.
